Dative disambiguation
The dative in Khalkha corresponds to both dative and locative in Kazakh
Commitative and instrumental
Khalkha commitative corresponds to Kazakh instrumental and -LIK, Khalkha instrumental usually corresponds to Kazakh instrumental.
Reflexive
Khalkha "reflexive" nouns turn into Kazakh nouns with an optional possessor that agrees with the subject of the sentence. When translating from Kazakh, a noun whose possession agrees with the subject should be translated as just reflexive.
- (khk) би гэр лүүгээ буцах ёстой → мен үйге қайтуым керек
- (khk) би гэр лүүгээ буцах ёстой → мен үйіме қайтуым керек
Khalkha inanimate nouns don't take an accusative morpheme with accusative-case reflexive nouns, so the accusative has to be added back in Kazakh.
- (khk) би гэрээ санав → мен үйімді сағындым
